Les Mathes - La Pinede Review

THIS CAMSITE IS A SHOCKER IF IT WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY SITE YOU WENT TO IN FRANCE YOU WOULD NEVER VISIT THE COUNTRY AGAIN.ITS CLASSED AS A 4 STAR HOW I DON'T KNOW I HAVE STAYED IN 2 STAR SITES BETTER THAN THIS.HAD TO PARK ON BUSY ROAD ON ARRIVAL SECURITY REFUSED TO ALLOW US ENTER PAST BARRIER TO CHECK IN EVEN THOUGH CAR PARK WAS FULL.STAFF WERE ARROGANT AND RUDE AND INSISTED THAT THEY HAD TO FIT US WITH PLASTIC WRIST BANDS AND DEMANDED A DEPOSIT FOR THESE BANDS AND FULL PAYMENT FOR OUR STAY.THE PITCH FOR OUR TENT AND CAMPER WAS LITTERED AND FULL OF HIGH WEEDS AND UNEVEN .ELECTRIC AND WATER A LONG WAY FROM PITCH WATER SUPPLY CAME FROM A RUSTY HYDRANT TYPE THING THAT SPRAYED IN EVERY DIRECTION .TOILET FLOOR ALWAYS CAKED IN MUCK .NO TOILET SEATS ,DRYER BROKEN,SLIPPERY TILES , WATER FROM SHOWERS NEXT DOOR WASHING ON TO MY FEET,THAT WAS THE NEWEST TOILET BLOCK. OLDER SHOWER BLOCK IN CENTRE OF PARK HAD SOAPY WATER FROM SHOWERS ALL OVER THE FLOOR EVERYBODY ELSES SHOWER WATER ON YOUR FEET.OUTDATED PATCHED SLIDES IN POOL AREA,OLD POOL IN CENTRE OF PARK HAD TIDE MARK ON SIDES.TOILET FLOOR SMELT STRONGLY OF URINE IN POOL AREA.WATER IN POOL FULL OF DEAD FLIES GOING IN PEOPLES MOUTHS.WHEN I COMPLAINED I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A NATURAL OCCURANCE BECAUSE I WAS IN A WOODED AREA(YET IT NEVEROCCURED TO THEM TO CLOSE AND CLEAN THE POOL .SLEEP WAS LIMITED BECAUSE OF DOGS BARKINK , DRUNKEN LAUGHING AND SHOUTING AND WHEN YOU FINALLY GOT TO SLEEP YOU WERE AWOKEN BY LOUD COCKERL CROWING FROM THE ONSITE MINI FARM .WE BOOKED THIS SITE ONLINE WHICH INCURRED A BOOKING FEE(30EURO) THE SITE COST AROUND 100 EURO MORE PER WEEK THAN THAN OTHER SITES WE BOOKED ON OUR 3 WEEK HOLIDAY.WITH 3 DAYS LEFT WE DECIDED TO ASK FOR A REFUND THE LADY IN THE OFFICE JUST LAUGHED AND SAID SHE WAS SORRY .WE PACKED PUT IT DOWN TO EXPERIENCE AND REALLY ENJOYED SEEING THE GATE FOR THE LAST TIME HAVING LEFT THE PARK EVERYDAY JUST TO GET AWAY FROM THIS NIGHTMARE.NOW I KNOW WHY THEY DEMANED FULL PAYMENT ON ARRIVAL
